Pawtucket Red Sox News Release
(Pawtucket, RI) - The Pawtucket Red Sox are pleased to announce that The Bob Dylan Show will come to McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, RI on Thursday, August 24. Tickets for the show will go on sale on July 15 at 10:00 am in person at the PawSox Box Office at McCoy, over the phone at (401) 724-7300, or at http://www.pawsox.com.
The Bob Dylan Show has just announced its third annual tour of America's minor league baseball parks and their appearance at McCoy Stadium on August 24 is a highlight of the tour. In the past two years, nearly a half-million fans have enjoyed a night under the stars with The Bob Dylan Show.
"The PawSox are thrilled to bring the legendary Bob Dylan under the stars at McCoy Stadium as we kick-off the 2006 Pawtucket Arts Festival on Thursday, August 24 at 6:30 pm," said PawSox president Mike Tamburro. "This unique event will allow fans to 'Walk in the Park' and actually stroll the grounds at McCoy while listening to this musical treasure."
Admission tickets are priced at $56.50 apiece and will allow fans the opportunity to enjoy the concert from their best vantage point at McCoy whether it be from the plush playing field, the grassy berm, or the seating bowl. Children (aged 12 and under) will get in free with each adult ticket holder. The event will be held rain or shine and there is no PawSox game on the night of the show.
Performing on this tour with his band, Hall of Famer Bob Dylan continues to experience one of the most creative and prolific periods of his career. Multiple Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a Kennedy Center Honor (the highest honor of artistic achievement given in the United States) are just a few of the many awards bestowed upon Bob Dylan. Last year saw the critically acclaimed release of No Direction Home, the first feature-length film biography of Bob Dylan, directed by Martin Scorcese. Now this summer, Bob Dylan will release his newest studio album, entitled Modern Times. Columbia Records release date is scheduled for August 29.
Joining The Bob Dylan Show this summer will be two modern legends of the electric guitar-Texas-style. Guitar Player Magazine calls Jimmie Vaughan "a virtual deity ... a living legend." His younger brother Stevie Ray Vaughan cited Jimmie as the biggest inspiration in his own career. Veteran roadhouse singer Lou Ann Barton will be joining his band for this summer's trek. Austin-based Junior Brown plays a demonic hybrid "guit-steel" instrument, a combination 6-string electric guitar and pedal steel guitar, a device he cooked up one night in a dream. Opening up the lineup of music will be Elana James, who fronted the country swing trio Hot Club of Cowtown and is now touring with her new band The Continental Two.
